I struggled with this one, I really liked the core concept and the atmosphere was great, my main issue was bring orders directly to the computer, I found it to be a bit of a slog, but not a bad game
This had me on edge the entire time. The environment looked awesome, the sounds were spot-on, and the pacing was perfect for the scary office theme. Definitely one of those games that sticks in your head after you finish it. My worst mistake is playing this at night while wearing headphone. Overall, it's well polished, nice work!
im glad you were sufficiently scared hahaha that was the goal! Thanks for the kind feedback
The atmosphere in this game is really eerie and filled with mystery, both the visuals and sound design work together perfectly.
I especially liked the computer mini-game, it’s really creative! Your UI layout is actually well-designed, too. It’s just a bit of a shame that the text is a little too small to read easily, haha.
Thank you very much! What text specifically was too small to read so i know to fix it in the future
The atmosphere is great!
I really like the corporate horror concept. it’s one of my favorite themes.
However, I couldn’t enjoy the game to its fullest since there were no subtitles for the voice acting.
I’m not a native English speaker. I can read English fairly well, but I’m not confident in listening.
Completely understandable, I had plans for subtitles for the jam, but I unfortunately didn't have enough time to do it. If it's any solace, I will be doing subtitles for post-jam updates.
Great game. She triggered my main fear, the fear of working. It's a very creative idea and I liked the sound design.
J*b.
On a real note I'm glad you liked the game!!!!
The visuals and sounds are great, loved the game! However, even with the lowest value set for mouse sensitivity it felt too high, do not know what could be the reason for that
yeah I'm not entirely sure what causes the mouse sensitivity bug, some people get it and others do not. I have tried looking into it and have not found the cause yet, but I'm glad you enjoyed the visuals and sound design.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the unique take on corporate horror. The art style was captivating, and the subtle horror elements kept me on edge. Would love to see more depth in the gameplay and clearer direction. Great work overall!
Thank you for the kind feedback! I agree on the direction of the gameplay, it isn't super well conveyed to the player what you're expected to do, it is explained in the voicemail but that is something that is easy to miss.
The atmosphere was quite unsettling. I liked the sound design. A Worthwhile experience.
Very nice, the game was scary for sure, the ambiance you were setting worked well, the soud design is perfect thats for sure, a bit llost at the beginning trying to figuring what to do and how.
But ooverall, i appreciated the experience as a whole, great work.
Cool game everything sound related is fantastic! I also like the environment design, but I wished the game had an ending besides credits. I did encounter a number of issues like with the monster, and reloads which I mentioned already in discord. The gameplay does get a little repetitive but it is using a unique concept to create the gameplay loop, if this was expanded I would try to add some other stuff to do besides pressing arrow keys (and if you can defeat the real monster which is pathfinding in Godot could make the monster smarter or more dynamic)
Nice game, the aesthetics is on point and the vibe is pretty scary! Still it was quite difficult at the beginning to understand how to proceed, even if the possible actions were limited but not very straightforward.
Beside this, I appreciate the actual voice used and the general vibe. Keep going!
This is too scary for me to play, but I liked the music and the aesthetics of the game. Good job, everyone.
Damn, you guys nailed the aesthetics. The sound design and Voice acting are really great. The atmosphere is really tense. One of the top games I played so far...
Thank you for the kind feedback, I'm surprised you liked the voice acting considering i am no where close to being a voice actor haha
This feels like the start of a full fledged, high quality indie horror game. The gameplay loop is there, the aesthetics are there. This was great!
I always enjoy these types of horror games where you have a simple task to do while something is probably trying to kill you as you go. The lore delivered through the voicemail system is common in horror games, although some tropes are just too fun to let go of, and this is definitely one of them. Even before anything started happening, I could tell very quickly that the paper placing mechanic was going to get me involved with the monster as much as possible. Damn you, dev.
Walking into the restroom, or especially going down the stairs to turn on all the power, felt really tense. The horror atmosphere in this game is definitely one of the best I have seen in this entire jam.
Ah thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so happy you loved the game! We are making plans to flesh out the game a lot more, fully depending on the feedback we receive and how we place in the jam.
I'm looking forward to checking your game out soon!
Dude the atmosphere was so tense, I got so paranoid, really really good sound design. So many layers and sfx and things that worked so well together. Loved its visuals as well, the shader style, computer ui, the environment, everything felt very polished. The monster got stuck on the stairs and I guess it should've been roaming around the office, I didn't get to play like that (I still was scared it would open the door any second). Oh and the voice lines were great as well, like they really fit with what we could see about the company for some reason
Amazing job! Congrats <3
Thank you for the glowing review, your game also had a super unique atmosphere that i loved. It's pretty common now that the main complaint about the game so far is that the monster AI frequently bugs out, which it definitely is buggy as hell, such is the life of a 1 week jam.
It's a very cool game!
Our jam game:

It's autumn forest russian game with slavic creepies. Hope you'll finish it despite of hardness.
I'll rate yours real quick but I appreciate you playing our game and thinking its cool. Though we'd like some feedback on game feel if you got time. Totally cool if not, I just wanted to see what you thought of it!
Well, we basically have nothing more to add, we said all the opinions on the stream

Text version:
An extremely beautiful visual, an interesting idea with an immersion in office work with horror elements, a suitable sound, everything immerses well into the atmosphere. I also liked the paper-filling gameplay, as if it were really office plankton XD
It's a little dark on the stairs, there's not enough light or something, it's also not entirely clear what to do at the beginning, there's not enough more detailed training
There are some bugs, but I think it's all fixable, because for some reason the phone was ringing all the time at the beginning, or the monster was stuck at the end
HECK YEA, sorry I wasn't caught up to the stream!!!!!!
Great horror atmosphere and sound design!
Honestly our sound designers kind of went hard on everything. I appreciate ya for playing our game!!
I'm bad with horror game so I just call it quit when the light went out. But from what little I've managed to see it seems very polished. The ambience and overall aesthetics make for a really tense atmosphere. Good job!
(Omg Hi we're profile pic twins) It's alright if you're bad with horror, I AM TOO. Adam kind of forced me to play it and as long as you got some enjoyment out of the atmosphere and the loop then it's honestly good enough for me!
Well executed Idea and nice feel and look to the game! Had fun with this entry, great job folks!
Glad you had fun! Anything you think we can improve on?
QA here, tiny bugs, little glitches. Not much big of a deal but game is dark AF, took a while to find the generator? Fuse was randomly shoved /to the correct box/.
Soft lock on rotate but figured it out, toilet door fun
Good job on team for the jam and nice VA from dev!
loved watching you play it on stream, glad you enjoyed it and you found many bugs for me to fix.
Glad to help lmao >>!
